Question

There were 500 sweets in a box and Mrs. Miller has given out 35% as prizes. How many are left in

the box?

Answer 1

Answer: 325

Explanation:

Lets rewrite this.

35% of sweets are given out of 500.

35% of 500.

35% = 0.35

0.35 x 500 = 175

This means 175 prizes were given. Now we have to subtract.

500 - 175 = 325
